investigation I will be measuring the effects of temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot. I will be measuring the amount of anthocyanin that will diffuse out of the beetroot. The way in which I will measure the anthocyanin is to check the light absorbency of the solution using a colorimeter. The higher the reading on colorimeter the more anthocyanin present in the solution To find out the permeability of the beetroot membrane I will firstly cut out cylinders of beetroot using a cork borer

TITLE AND AUTHOR Lab 7 Analysis of purified Concanavalin A via:Hemagglutination INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to test the biological activity of ConA by performing a hemagglutination assay. If ConA is active then agglutination will occur due to ConA’s free receptors being able to bind to the glucose residues on the sheep’s red blood cells. If ConA is not active then no agglutination will occur. To test the hemagglutination reaction‚ two types of ConA solutions

the NIH3T3 cells. Three pieces of Whatman paper were wet in transfer buffer and placed on the anode plate. A wet PVDF membrane was placed on top of the Whatman paper. The gel was removed from holder and the stacking gel was removed. Forceps were used to place the gel onto the wet membrane and another Whatman paper was placed on top of the. The cathode plate was placed and started the transfer. Then the membrane was placed in TBST containing 5% milk for 60 minute while shaking. The membrane was rinsed

There are many ways in which substances can move across the cell membrane and in which then helps in the function of the body (cells‚ tissues and organs) overall. There are 3 processes that a substance can move across the membrane‚ theses are diffusion (simple and facilitated)‚ osmosis and active transport. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive processes‚ which mean they do not need energy to occur‚ whereas active transport does require energy. All three processes are involved in many functions

The Effect of Temperature on Beet Cell Membranes and Concentration of Betacyanin Released Introduction Membranes are an important feature of plant cells and they act as a barrier that separates the interior of the cell from the external environment (Campbell et al.‚ 2008). Each membrane layer is composed of a phospholipid layer‚ which is semi-permeable and possesses the ability to control the movement of diffusion. Within the centre of a cell‚ the vacuole that is responsible for storage and

Plan:- Independent Variable- Temperature is what I will be changing in the experiment. I want to find out what effect temperature has on the permeability of a cell membrane. Controlling other Variables- I will use measures to ensure that everything stays the same in my test to gain the best and most reliable results possible - Same volume of water that I put the beetroot into after heating. - The beetroot I use will be the same size each time‚ I will ensure this using a cork borer. - The beetroot
